Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Emergence was improved in all selected alfalfa populations at Ames.
- Intervention effect Emergence was not improved by selection at Nashua.
- Intervention effect HSV selection and EG + HSV selection were the most effective treatments at improving emergence.
- Intervention effect HSV selection increased seedling height by 21% after two cycles.
- Intervention effect EG selection increased seedling height by 9% after two cycles.
- Intervention effect Selection for LG + LSV did not reduce seedling height in the field.
- Association Most gain from selection was realized with C1.
- Intervention effect Seedling height selection at suboptimal temperature in the laboratory improved seedling height in the field in some alfalfa populations.
- Intervention effect Seedling height selection at suboptimal temperature did not change other agronomic characteristics.
- Observation The response among alfalfa cultivars to selection was highly variable.
